A rejuvenated One Last Hug has won three times here this year but steps back up in trip. Earn Your Stripes won this last year though found SEE MY BABY JIVE too good over track and trip a week ago. The latter also had the measure of the favourite Wrecked It Ralph on that occasion and should go close again despite a penalty. Global Humor completed a double here before beaten at Musselburgh while Wee Fat Mac, Elladora and Captain Dandy can be thrown into the mix.
